The budget received over AMD 570.2 billion in Jan-July 2013 as taxes and customs duties – 19.6% year-on-year growth, which was mainly ensured by VAT, customs duties and payments for nature management and protection.

The budget spending amounted to AMD 553.4 billion in Jan-July 2013 – 7.1% more than at the same period a year before. The growth is mostly due to increase in current expenses.
